RiverRick comments on Dec 27, 2018:

That's why I live in the woods. When I step out side the only thing I hear is either the river rushing by over the rapids... Or the wind blowing! Obviously the birds, ducks, geese, woodpeckers, etc. But rarely anything man made except the occasional jet passing over at 35,000 feet or the old Stearman biplane that is part of the local air circus heading to the airport to refuel. I could never live in the city. Too peopley.

At this point... Pence's dog would be better as president! I'd like to see him impeached as well as tried and executed for treason! Failing that... Some sort of jail time to see him locked away for a long time! Yes... I'll take that for my Christmas present!

I ran into that after being VP for a lender. There was a merger and I took a buy-out. They paid me very well and i was like Kryponite when looking for a new job. I had to lie about how much I made in prior years... Saying I made LESS money than I actually did. When interviewed they were afraid I'd take their job. It took a while to land a happy position again. I have never used a head hunter.

That's pretty much me. I have a shirt that states.... "I like coffee and maybe 3 people!" Aside from my customers I deal with on a daily basis... I keep a few close friends. It's not that I don;t fit in but I can be rather opinionated and tend to let my feelings be known. I have found that assholes don't really want to hear what I think about them. Sometimes they hear anyway!

Of course this works great if it is a really hot day... But still smells bad on a cold one.
